Kobe may not have been shaking in his Nikes.. but someone at the front office must've been! I don't even envy teams that freak out when they go on some insignificant losing streak. I've cheered for Seahawks, Mariners, Supersonics, WSU... I'm used to that kinda shit. Hand me a Busch Light and I'll get right over it lol.

Warriors look TERRIBLE. oh god.... desperately need bogut to solidify.... everything. We missed so many open 3's in the second quarter and then just dug a whole. Offense was looking terrible with a ton of just one on one and just jacking up 3's after that. Quite frustrated

Yet they still have a better record than the Lakers. Not for long tho.

Dantoni certainly is an odd choice. I would assume PJ would have just had some abhorrent monetary request for returning that LAL was unable to fulfill. Just love how wishy-washy LA fans are, whose numbers in the Lakers struggling early season have dwindled. Hell, they've likely already forgotten who the Kings are and what sport they play.

PJ wanted too damn much. He wanted the same money he was making in 2011, didn't want to travel to all the road games, wanted final say in all personnel decisions.. gtfo. He was a great coach, but he's not bigger than the organization. Truth is, neither D'antoni's offense nor PJ's triangle is gonna fix the Lakers. Nash still gets burned by just about all of the title competing PG's. Westbrook is going to have a field day with him. Lakers still are crappy at defense, have a weak bench and lack 3-point shooters.

Oh, I haven't been following the situation at all, didn't even know he was a viable option. Yea with those kind of demands you can't blame the Lakers for not rehiring him. Thats just ridiculous.

Dantoni can't get it done in the playoffs, I dealt with him in Phoenix for years...

+1. It seems like a no brainer to me. Why wouldn't you hire an 11 time world champion. D'Antoni has a horrible track record in big games. He had talent in New York and couldn't put it together what makes the Lakers think he can do it in LA?

He basically wanted Jim Buss job, with a coaching position

And buss gave him a big F U
By hiring D'Antoni before negotiations even began.
I can't remember the last thing Jim Buss did aside from discover Bynum
Who is out for another 5 weeks

let me guess...from the bay?

He might be talking about hockey?
La kings

I'm from Oregon. It's in my profile :P. Was just asserting that many LA "fans", (read: bandwagonners) will drop a team in a hurry once they're on a skid. There was almost no coverage of how dominant the Kings (yes, hockey) were last season until the Playoffs were nearly wrapped up, and few were attending the matches. The Lakers have been on a skid now and attendance has dwindled. It's simply a trend.

The good news for the lakers is that okc is not and will not be the same without harden and san antonio, despite being regular season jugernauts, has fizzed out in the postseason every year since their last title. I definitely see the lakers making the finals

who on the lakers is going to guard westbrook? Nash? lol lets be real, Durant and Westbrook is what makes OKC what they are. while Harden is great and causes crazy mismatches, martin can flat out play too...

sorry but dantoni sucks as a coach. he doesn't make adjustments, he doesn't teach defense, basically, he doesn't coach at all!! his plays after timeouts suck!

I agree. But Im tired of teams scrapping up a lot of good players just to win a championship. Back in the day, each team had their star and basketball was intensely competitive and it was super interesting to watch. But thats just my opinion.

miami were very lucky to get away with another win. kenneth faried is an absolute beast, he pretty much out rebounded the whole team by himself! if it wasnt for all those threes, they wouldve blown it. im just hoping wade comes back healthy and back to his old self soon.

Warriors lost today. sweet jesus was kevin martin good. Would not miss from 3 point land. Warriors played well but when Durant gets a triple double, and okc shoots .650 from behind the arc, pretty freaking hard to beat...

I was so mad that Klay took that shot instead of running out the clock. Thank god warriors still won in OT. mayo was killing us but we actually hit free throws in the clutch and got some good rebounds for the win
